I seem to recall Tom Ross saying that XMLSS is, in fact, generally slower than 
COMPAT.  I believe the only advantage to XMLSS is that it can be offloaded to a 
specialty engine.  So it will be slower but cost less (??).  Or slower and cost 
more if you don't have a specialty engine!

Crazy, no?  I'm sure Tom will correct me if I have misstated!
